But the Zucker bucks and Bill Gates $50 million giveaway is OK? You are a world class DXXb FXXk.
I'm glad to see you have turned your stupidity up a notch.
Edited, for a better insult.

The operative word is "may"......... And let us be clear.......80-90% of the DC workforce is Team D........so......flip that around and tell me how secure you'd be with say.....maybe the Alabama Attorney General announcing that something a Harris supported was doing "may" be illegal? We are conditioned to hear "may" as is.....but it is not so. And we are generally sound enough in judgment to know when the other team is playing us.......but not so our own. I've already voted......split things up again.........for good reasons, at least ones that I think are good. Not sure how always voting for a particular party makes sense. Especially as someone 85 years old who has always voted Democrat in the South......well......think that shift through.

It is based on federal law prohibiting vote buying. Musk could be accused of paying people to vote for Trump. He is doing it as a lottery, by picking a person at random, but you have to be on petition to be able to be eligible. It could influence people to consider Trump and sign his petition just for a chance to win the money, and technically, according to legal experts I have read, it is a form of vote buying. A bit of a stretch of the law, but technically, it is vote buying.
I think it would be a hard, if not impossible, case to prove in court for many reasons and I agree, the warning from the Justice Dept. is likely just a political move to get him to stop with this nonsense. It may or may not work. Depends on how big of an asshole Musk wants to be about it. He may want to waste money fighting it for his own political reasons.
I think it is a bad move to call attention to it and give it more headlines. It isn't going to hurt Trump in the election if Justice goes after Musk and Musk is used to fighting the government and doesn't really give a shit what they say. Just let it go and it will fade away after a few days as the media gets bored with it and Musk.

Looks like Elmo caved to the DOJ as of now. But he is so thankful for giving him all your personal data.
